Sometimes... Cars need to use all lanes available and "zipper it up." One time in Iowa City... It was freakinng insane, everyone being "too nice" and getting in line early... Thinking they were being "courteous." Exact opposite. Causing one big line and then that queue getting stuck between two lights. Construction zone gridlock. Vehicles should have doubled up and used the merge lane. Then alternate, zipper it. It's not being "rude" to use that lane... Can't have one line 5 miles long and vehicles getting caught between lights at light cycles, then like "slack" on a train.

When I started with The Corps (the First Corps, 6/16/1775 one... NOT that one with a birthday in November of same year... ?)... Presque Beach erosion project I was on. Built the stone mounds. Did the hydrographic survey work and soundings for the walls. That project one Engineering awards, one of the first to employ those self-nourishing (beach) methods. The beaches nourish w/sand so well that you can walk out onto some of them!

I was once out strolling one very hot summer's day When I thought I'd lay myself down to rest in a big field of tall grass I lay there in the sun and felt it caressing my face And I fell asleep and dreamed I dreamed, I was in a Hollywood movie And that I was the star of the movie This really blew my mind, the fact that me An overfed, long haired leaping gnome Should be the star of a Hollywood movie There I was, I was taken to a place, the hall of the mountain kings...

As long as you arrive smelling nice! ?

Are those crabs! ?

Even worse... Smoke detectors since approx. 2010... Have a 10 year life. Once you fire up with first battery the clock is ticking. Can't reset even with fresh battery.

LMAO... Man that was bold (to slap stickers on vehicles). Betcha that 1960s adhesive was bad azz... And the 1960s steel practically rusting right off the assembly line!

I resent this! But yeah @Gugny, YOU root for a team in FLUSHING! ?

That... And humping everything in sight. I wonder where they learn it from! ??

I will be an azz when peolp are running red light up road and the only way turn left onto the road is for that light to stop traffic. I will block that ***** -er and wait for traffic to clear in my direction! The whole ***** -ing lane!

[Here's an oldie from my 45 days that popped into my noodle!] Gunhill Road, BTW: Back when my hair was short I was a white socked sport Wore pointed shoes and pegged pants Drank till my eyes were red Hid Playboy neath my bed Slicked my d.a. for the dance Back when my hair was short I met some friends in court For stealing hubcaps from cars Chain smoking under the stars Played all night pinball in bars And dreamed about love We were experts on love We talked our way all around it And even if we had found it We couldnt respond Slowly I changed my ways College and long-haired days Seeing three concerts a week An honest to God hippy freak Too busy eating to speak Except about love We held rallies for love But no one knew what they stood for How many months were they good for The meaning is gone Soon when my hair is short I'll make a full report Of how I came back alive And what it takes to survive Wringing the truth out of jive I'll tell you of love More than ever it's love No lack of faith undermines it Cause it's the hope that well find it That makes us go on Back when my hair was short I was a white socked sport Holding beer parties till three College appealed to me Eastern Philosophy...

Yeah what do they do to stop it. Can't touch her down, basket to ground. Holy Moly! Pull the winch up. The longer the lead, the faster the spin, right? It seemed to go faster when the pilot thought about touching the basket down... Then it must have dawned on them: "Noooo! Bad idea!" I don't care WTF @Cripple Creek says... People laugh @ the misfortune of others because they are really thinking: "***** that's funny, glad it isn't me!"

Yep.

You forgot... Sniff other azzes too. ??

Somebody is jus a little sensitive. Ran out of prune juice this morning?

Cue @Gugny and his smoker... Rolling down Highway 41! ?

People running red lights at light up the road. How am I suppose to make a left (onto same road) if traffic never stops. /smh...

Then somebody is going to jail for statutory rape. Who is he! Tell me! ??

Because your getting old.

Because DoD passwords have to be 15+ characters, change every 60 days, can't repeat and a whole slew of other things... Like caps, special characters, etc... I just cut-n-paste from a Word file. Real secure, right? I clear my clipboard ASAP.

You know dogs take on the personality of their owners!??

Diesel, gasoline... LoL... That's how we handle the Asian carp... Not one stinking dink carp body left. Also, from all night snow plowing in the tractor. Drives women crazy! ?

Actually, the Downtown lock @ Chicago Harbor has a dog. They loan her from Tulsa District for the summer. "Ellie", an Australian shepherd I believe. She works the wall chasing geese away. Now that L.Michigan is high water and Dime Pier (Dime Pier is the old pier/pilings between Navy Pier & Chicago Harbor Lock) is submerged, the place where they spray *seagull pheromones in order to keep the seagulls from bothering tourists on Navy Pier. Without a place for the seagulls to hang out, Ellie will be chasing seagulls too! [*Little known fact, if you go to Navy Pier, why seagulls don't divebomb you, your food, etc... Unlike places like say Erie Basin Marina in Buffalo.]

@/dev/null is from Erie, this is the one time in my life I feel sorry for him... What a terrible place to grow up! Poor fella, now I know why he's so desparate... Even with the new XBox scented body wash, probably a no-go.

It's all-you-can-eat. If I was in Golden Corral mgmt... I'd kick her out too! Probably eating them out of house and home! Another note, I find it peculiar that she says: "I never wanna wear that shirt again." Huh???? You think she would say: "I never wanna go to Golden Corral again!" I guess... THAT'S just too hard, impossible! /smh So much "trauma" yet, she can't quit strapping on the feed bag @ that fine all-you-can-eat establishment! Can't say I blame her! Holy Moly! And people want to legalize pot, like society ain't stoned/high enough? I wonder what counsel and the social justice warrior to the stars, @BringBackFergy & @Gugny have to say about this story... They are my guiding light.
